Will this slime tube plug up my tire pressure gauge?

The key to using Slime tubes is to always turn the wheel so that the valve is on top, at the 12 O'Clock position. That way the slime slithers to the bottom, keeping the valve clear. If you try it at the bottom position, at 6 O'Clock, or in the vicinity, the Slime will go into your gauge, and if you are pumping it will come out. All we need to do is keep the valve up top, and all will be well : )

Either try another outlet if you have one, or start the engine before you turn on the slime pump. I had one that was so powerful that it killed the engine ( amp wise). This slime pump IS powerful, but maybe try a new 15 amp fuse.

Yes, you can use it to inflate a low tire. We use it without the Slime all the time, just as an air pump.

I don't think so. My pressure gauge is installed on the pump motor inlet itself, not the tank. Hope this helps.

I have this in-line gauge, between the pump and the valve. I've noticed the cheap pump fights the tire pressure when trying to read it with the gauge. Not sure I like the pump; I suspect it is the pump/gauge that's the issue - not necessarily the 90 adapter.

yes. pressure is pressure. the meter has 2 scales on it. it should work OK.

There is a gauge, but the adapter cant lock on to the tube when pumping. Air keeps leaking, I could be bad luck. But I couldnt pump anything with it.

Short answer is no. It could be possible if you made an adapter hose to connect between the air chuck on the gas station hose and this tool. Not sure it's worth the effort. You can use this tool alone (with no compressed air connected) to MEASURE-ONLY tire pressure.

Yes it will. I inflated my ,car tire to 34psi and it took about 10 minutes,so double that time.

MY answer was assuming you wanted to actually fill your tires with air! Otherwise why would you be looking to buy a compressor to just ck the tire pressure? .. if thats the case , just by a simple tie pressure gauge!

Like the others said, this will inflate the tire also, however this is supposed to be for emergency temporary use until you can get the tire patched or plugged. The other slime is good for 2 years, and is also thicker and will fill larger holes. This one you toss in the trunk for emergency use, the other one you pump in your atv and lawn tractors for preventative use or chronic slow leaks.

yes, you need to get a gauge when you fill it, you don't want to overfill your compressor.

No, the compressor plugs only into a 12-volt, cigarette lighter-type recepticle located within your automobile. It has a long power cord which should allow you to reach all four tires.

The pressure gauge used to both read the pressure, and set the maximum pressure, has a max setting of 150psi. The trip needle would probably make it cut out at 148ish. So in theory it should be capable of this pressure.FYI the compressor is fairly slow. I used it on a tire with 20 psi, it took about 3 minutes to fill it to 35 psi.

No. Even if it did most inflators are very inaccurate. No substitute for a good tire gauge. This inflator is bottom of the barrel junk.

Hi Nasser! Our Life Tire Gauge only needs 1 AAA battery (not included) to operate the LED Flashlight and the LED Torch and it includes 1 CR2032 3V lithium battery used to operate the tire pressure readings.

It is an air gauge for filling inflatable tires. It must be used with a compressor
